Beyond cultural competency: Applying an antiracism lens to LGBTQ+ care and health
Abstract
The variety of ways that cultural competency has been used to improve health care for historically marginalized groups, including the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community, has been documented in the literature. As clinicians seek to deliver competent care, we encourage consideration of how the intersectionality of patient lives, including institutional racism, impacts clinical care, and assert the need for the immediate application of an antiracist framework to center and achieve the goal of restorative and holistic clinical care.
